I've only used messages once, and never created any forms, so I'm 
guilty of ignorance.  My thought on attachments was to simply be able 
to use the routing features of messages to get "the file" to the 
proper destination.  Single attachments are OK for my use.  The 
simplest type like email is perfect.
